Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: If you've never seen Stanwyck in a pre-Code film, you've never really seen Stanwyck.
Fresh: A fascinatingly conflicted artifact of Depression-era do-me feminism.
Fresh: Well worth looking at.
Customer Reviews
Pre-Hayes Code Barbara Stanwyck!!!
This is one of my favorite movies from the amazing Barbara Stanwyck. Great story, great acting. It is pre-Hayes code censorship and so remarkably frank about sexuality. Very illuminating about sexual mores and gender roles of the time.
